The 11 Worst Drivers on I-95

Late last week, the gang over at Gawker channeled a vitriol that's distinct to New York: subway hate. Well, here in South Florida, we may not have any subways, but we sure as hell have a lot of hate.

And most of it is home to I-95 -- where everything good and holy in the universe comes to die.

Here are the worst offenders.

11. The driver who speeds up, then slows down, then speeds up, and slows down. We hate you. Here's what you do: You catapult your Audi/Bentley/Mercedes/BMW past us on the right, then, less than 300 yards later, you slam on the brakes. Then, you move over into our lane. And repeat this same futile act. You think you'll somehow get ahead of us in this mire? You think you've devised a new way that will allow you to progress faster than the rest of us? Fuck you. You're dumb. We hate you.

10. The driver who cuts you off and has tinted windows. You're likely in a suped-up Honda, barreling into our lane, going way too fast. You narrowly miss us EVERY TIME. So, naturally, we get pissed. We speed up, pull our car even with yours, because more than anything on this Earth, we just want to see your face. See what you look like. Burn that image into our mind so we can adequately hate you forever.

But we find that your windows are tinted black. And we cannot see you. And we hate you even more, because you're like the trolls on the internet who infuriate everyone behind a veil of anonymity. You're a terrible person.

9. The driver who somehow thinks every wrong is absolved by waving his or her hand. Whoops!" you seem to say at us. "Didn't see you there! Almost clipped you while we're going 80 on the expressway, triggering a ten-car collision and killing scores of people! My bad!" Then you you raise your hand by means of apology. And we think: "That's OK; we totally forgive you. (Idiot.)"

8. The driver who moves over five lanes in one mile because he or she has to get off RIGHT NOW. This is South Florida. There's another exit in two minutes. Just get off there. It's going to be OK. Promise.

7. The driver texting. Listen, sweetheart. I know you can't wait another moment to dispatch another soliloquy of OMGz and que pena and "she was throwing back tequilas como una pata sucia" -- but just stop. STOP. There's a new law about this. It says, Idiots of Florida: You can no longer text while driving at speeds that can kill everyone.

We Recommend

.................................."5. The driver who's a cop and going faster than everyone" ...............didn't the Sun-Sentienl win its ONLY pulitzer-to-date by EXPOSING COPS here is MIAMI DRIVING through rail-road crossings while the gates were DOWN ?

and isn't the single largest municipal settlement awaiting legislative approval to be paid out to a victim of a LEO who raced through a stop-sign with his patrol car because he was late for inspection and t-boned the victim in a multi-million dollar award ?

ITEM 7: READ THE LAW CORRECTLY TEXTING IS A SECONDARY OFFENSE- Police CANNOT pull you over ONLY IF THEY SEE YOU TEXTING- they can only issue you a separate citation for Texting IF THEY CATCH YOU SPEEDING etc. (furthermore, law enforcement and emergency personnel are exempted from punishment NO BULLSHIT looki it up Florida Senate 316.305 F.S. Section 3 Paragraph (a), Item 1. & Item 2.)

........................well then FTPD don't comply because some mornings, today included, FLPD pull over any drivers texting as they exit 95 N ramp onto eastbound Broward Blvd - what else would they be pulling over so many cars for ? seat-belt ? it can't be speeding because the cars are crawling into traffic
